2.2 miles (3.6 km) | 19:39 | 8:51/mile (5:30/km)
2.2 miles (3.6 km) | 20:07 | 9:02/mile (5:37/km)


First two runs of the year (and in a long time). The first one was January 1, the second was today. It's chilly here (26 F/-3 C), but not too cold once I start running.

I didn't remember to put on the heart rate monitor yesterday until I was already bundled up, and then I didn't want to bother. Today, I had it on. Average heart rate was 163 bpm. It was higher for the second half of the run and my pace was even.

Overall, I felt pretty good. I'm trying not to overdo it while it's still easy. My quadriceps were sore after the first run. I plan to take a scheduled day off tomorrow.
